Expected fun turns into work Continued from page 16 scene. Choir director Dan Peavy was delighted with the idea of having a musical scene in the movie. It's given the kids a new experience, something different and challenging. Altogether, students were excited about having participated in a major motion picture. Not only was everyone paid no matter how small a part, but a free catered lunch was provided for the cast during lunch break. Free, that is. if one had his ticket which was issued even,' morning when signing in. Another ticket, which was issued at the same time, allowed one to get paid. Students were paid at the end of every work day. The going rate for all acting members, classroom actors and extras, was $27 for an eight hour day. The band members were paid $40 per work day. Despite the waiting and boredom, most students would do it again if the chance arose. Frank Diaz added. I wouldn't want to do it professionally! ▼Sawing logs.
